Diagnose Conjunctivitis in Dogs Conjunctivitis is a common condition that affects the eyes of dogs. Conjunctivitis refers to the redness of the membrane over the globe of the eye and that lines the eyelids, including the dogs third eyelid in the middle corner of the eye.1 The condition has many causes, and its important that your vet identifies the underlying reason so that appropriate treatment can be given.2 Recognizing The Symptoms of Conjunctivitis Look for red eyes. The most common symptom for conjunctivitis is red or bloodshot eyes. This redness affects the white of the eye, but it can also affect the lining of the eyelid or the surface of the third eyelid. Check for swollen eyelids. Since conjunctivitis leads to irritation, the eyelids may be swollen. This can be the eyelids or any other soft tissue of your dog’s eyes. It may have a puffy, enlarged appearance. Monitor for any discharge. Another symptom of conjunctivitis is a discharge from the eye. This discharge may appear in different ways. Becuase of the discharge, the eye may have crust around it or stick together completely. It may be clear, which leads to dampness around the eyes. The discharge may contain mucus or pus. This may be yellow-green, or a thick, tacky, and glue-like substance coming from the eye. It may be clear, which leads to dampness around the eyes.The discharge may contain mucus or pus.

Because conjunctivitis bothers a dog’s eyes and causes swelling, your dog may squint or blink a lot. This may be combined with swollen eyelids. Notice if your dog rubs her face. Conjunctivitis causes irritation in the eye. Due to this, your dog may rub her face along the ground to try to relieve it. She may also paw at her eyes often.

Canine distemper is a virus that affects the skin, brain, eyes, respiratory, and intestinal organs of dogs. Though it is a highly infectious disease, it is entirely preventable by vaccination. Dogs of all age are at risk, though it mostly affects puppies under the age of six months. There are ways to recognize the symptoms so you can get your dog treated.

Dogs are very much like us in that manner. Our loving pets, too, have a comfortable nest where they love to sit and wait for us to show them some love. We might give them the most comfortable dog beds or even let them sleep on down feathers, but they would still climb on our beds or sleep on the cat bed when we turn our attention to something else. This gentle beast however, found that his secret hideout is none other than his owner’s lap. This Newfoundalnd dog named Boss is such a loving dog! He loves to give lots of hugs and kisses to his family but we don't think he realizes how big he actually is. He climbs on top of his owner’s lap and gives her a big hug. She returns the hug right back to him. How cute is that! He must give some of the best hugs! You can tell they love each other so much, Boss certainly knows how to make someone smile. Awesome! Even though Boss is a very big dog, he wouldn't hurt a feather. He cares about everyone and just wants to spread his love with the world. This is so precious. Boss is probably the best cuddle buddy out there! What a great friendship these two have. This video footage is so priceless! This lady will never feel alone due to the endless love and attention of her pet dog. This video just goes to prove how much our pets rely on us and that there is no limit to their love. As Boss’s owner is sitting on the armchair she is shortly after accompanied by her loving dog.Even if she gets up and switches over to sit in a different place, we are sure that her dog will be right behind her following her to her new sitting location. Only after she gives him a hug and pats him on his back, is he willing to let go of her human and mind his business. Have you had an honest conversation with your dog about its preferences? We know that dogs are playful precious creatures and we know that most of them can be easily made happy with a treat, a toy or a walk in the park. Even though there are dogs that are so headstrong that nothing in the world can whet their appetite for life. Among many dog breeds there is this gentle and amiable dog breed the Newfoundland that it shows enormous friendliness toward humans. As the saying goes “Sweetness of temperament is the hallmark of the Newfoundland”. It is easily trained and adores being around people. Perhaps the most famous Newfoundland was Nana, the dog from Peter Pan, who watched over the Darling children. Most owners agree that the characterization the Newfoundland as a natural babysitter who looks out for the well-being of her charges was right on the money. Have you seen a bigger dog than Boss before? Let us know in the comments!
